Checking in late, but I’d like to add my support. Man, the list of people I need to grant secret murders to is getting longer and longer. 😉 ---

It’s been said before but I’ll say it again: you rock. I wish I was like you, **Polycarp**. ---

Poly - Trying to bring Christianity to Christians, again? Good luck - fight the good fight, all that 😉 ---

What is this, a thread of support in the Pit? Yeesh, isn’t anyone going to cuss out **Polycarp** and/or tell him that he’s just totally wrong? 😉 For the record, way to let your voice be known, **Polycarp**! ---

Cool. You may also be pleased, therefore, that, here in Seattle, [the Methodists have refused to fire an openly gay minister](http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/134465072_methodist31m.html). Progress is slow, but it’s still progress. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by SisterCoyote \* > \*\*ERm…cuss out Poly? > > :SisterC attempts to imagine anyone cussing out Poly: > > ::boggle:: \*\* I fondly but rather sheepishly recall tearing a strip out of **Polycarp** about 2 years ago. Then a lady named **dogsbody** responded to his defence, and made a very unflattering comment about me. 😃 In retrospect I can’t imagine ever saying what I said to\*\* Polycarp\*\*. Its like looking at clothing of the seventies. Did I actually wear that stuff? ---

Hm. I’d forgotten that thread completely, **g** - the only place I remember butting heads with you was in the pit bulls thread. Oh well. Guess we’ve both come a long way, huh? 😉 ---

Reading\*\* SisterCoyote’s\*\* response just now, I note that we have exactly the same post count, 916. Neat. ---

I was amused by the stories recalling that thread, not least because of who it was who argued with **grienspace** – but, **Sister Coyote** , I’m bound to point out that **grienspace** has forged ahead in the race. (And may I urge on you both the “post count party” style of a thoughtful credo-giving OP to celebrate that I founded and **Spritle** promoted when you each hit 1,000?) ---

That’d have to be some credo for me to give, **Poly** , judging by the number of posts I have:D [sub]We are allowed to try to be funny in the pit, right?..[/sub] ---

Um…that’s assuming I ever hit 1000 posts - it only took me, what, two years to get this far? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poly-strikes-out-for-christian-equality/111417.md?page=1)
